Answer : The chemical symbol for the atom is Cu.

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

The atomic mass of lead (Pb) = 207.2 amu

The atomic mass of iron (Fe) = 55.9 amu

The atomic mass of europium (Eu) = 151.9 amu

The atomic mass of copper (Cu) = 63.5 amu

From this we conclude that the chemical symbol for the atom that has an average atomic mass of about 63.5 amu is copper (Cu).

Hence, the chemical symbol for the atom is Cu.

Dissolve 30 g of sodium sulphate into 300 mL of water

Aneli [31]

Answer:

number of moles = 0.21120811

Explanation:

To find the number of moles, given the mass of the solute, we use the formula:

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ m }{ M } }$

$\mathrm{n = number\:of\:moles\:(mol)}$

$\mathrm{m = mass\:of\:solute\:(g)}$

$\mathrm{M = molar\:mass\:of\:solute\:( \dfrac{ g }{ mol } )}$

Label the variables with the numbers in the problem:

$\mathrm{n =\:?}$

$\mathrm{m =30\:g }$

$\mathrm{M =\:?\:Calculate\:the\:molar\:mass }$

The first thing we have to do is find the molar mass of sodium sulfate, in order for us to use the formula for finding the number of moles:

Formula for finding the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$M({ \left Na \right }_{ 2 } { \left So \right }_{ 4 }) = m \left( Na \right) +m \left( S \right) +m \left( O \right)$

For the variables and what they mean are below for finding the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$\mathrm{M =molar\:mass }$

$\mathrm{m =moles=2\:moles\:for\:Na\:,1\:mole\:for\:S,\:and\:4\:moles\:for\:O}$

$\mathrm{Na =sodium=22.99\:g }$

$\mathrm{S =sulfur=32.06\:g }$

$\mathrm{O =oxygen=16.00\:g }$

Plug the numbers into the formula, to find the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$M({ \left Na \right }_{ 2 } { \left So \right }_{ 4 }) = m \left( Na \right) +m \left( S \right) +m \left( O \right)$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:the\:values\:into\:the\:formula}$

$M = 2 \left( 22.99 \right) +1 \left( 32.06 \right) +4 \left( 16.00 \right)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:2\:by\:22.99\:to\:get\:45.98\:and\:1\:by\:32.06\:to\:get\:32.06}$

$\mathrm{M = 45.98+32.06+4\:(16)}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:4\:by\:16\:to\:get\:64}$

$\mathrm{M = 45.98+32.06+64}$

$\mathrm{Add\:45.98\:and\:32.06\:to\:get\:78.04}$

$\mathrm{M = 78.04+64}$

$\mathrm{Add\:78.04\:and\:64\:to\:get\:142.04}$

$\mathrm{M = 142.04}$

Now that we have found the molar mass, we can calculate the number of moles in the solution of sodium sulfate with the formula:

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ m }{ M } }$

$\mathrm{n =\:?}$

$\mathrm{m =30\:g }$

$\mathrm{M = 142.04\:g/mol}$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:the\:values\:into\:the\:formula}$

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ 30 }{ 142.04 }}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:142.04\:by\:30\:to\:get\:0.21120811}$

$\mathrm{n = 0.21120811}$

0.21120811 rounded gives you 0.2112

or if you did the problem without decimals

30 grams of sodium sulfate divided by its molecular weight – which we found to be 142 – gives us a value of 0.2113 moles.

Identify 5 things that would happen if there is not electricity.

Brilliant_brown [7]

If the power is out long enough even the city folks will run out of water. Many homes are all electric, so as soon at the lights are out they have no heat, no hot water and they can't cook. ... If the power is out, gas stations can't pump gas. Once generators run out of gas, those people will be in the dark too.
